As a local branch of the national charity, we:

Cover seven hospitals across Surrey

Are entirely self funded

Surrey Sands receive no form of statutory funding. We are very grateful for donations that allow us to provide support to local families

We support bereaved parents

Bereavement support is at the core of everything we do. Some of the services that we offer include Telephone support (helpline), Befrienders, Group support and much more – read our support page for further information.

We raise awareness

16 babies every day just before, during or soon after birth. Many of these deaths are preventable.

We train healthcare professionals

We try to ensure that bereaved parents and families receive the best possible care. We provide training and talks for health professionals based on the Sands Guidelines which give practical guidance on how to meet parents’ needs and provide good bereavement care.
